A Nebraska teenager who pleaded guilty to hiding her 29-week-old baby’s body after authorities say she and her mother aborted the late-term unborn baby and then burned and disposed of the body will only get 90 days in jail.
Celeste Burgess, 18, of Norfolk, Nebraska agreed to plead guilty to removing/concealing/abandoning a dead human body as part of a plea deal in Madison County District Court. As a result, two other charges against her were dropped.
Celeste Burgess could have spent up to two years in prison. Instead, she will spend just 90 days in jail and two years’ probation.
